Coming into the year everyone thought the Browns would be a
deeply boring team. They had a decent defense, a limited offense,
and no quarterback — a recipe that pointed to an instantly
forgettable 6-10 season.

But they've become something much different. After basically
scrapping the season after two weeks, shipping off Trent
Richardson, and hilariously promoting third-string QB Brian Hoyer
to starter, they've become the weirdest, most intriguing bad team
in the NFL.

The Browns have nothing to lose because the Browns are beyond
wins and losses. Their goals are explicitly long-term in a league
where every team still thinks it can make the playoffs this year,
and as a result they've become the ultimate spoiler team.
